Sistine Chapel





I kind of thought it might be appropriate to visit the chapel on this feast day of Our Lady....not that the sistine chapel is devoted to Her but........it's a good place to drag a noob. I like to show them nice things, give them another view of SL........gets them out of the strip clubs, haha.








This I nabbed from a notecard:

About the Sistine Chapel Recreation
The Sistine Chapel recreation was built by Steve Taylor, of Vassar College (AV: Stan Frangible.) It was built as a proof of concept, to explore how virtual reality might be used to learn about art and architecture, by experiencing the scale, context and social environment of a real-life space.
Everything is true to scale (pretty much).
The images are from photographs, used with permission from various distributors.
It is built of more than 500 prims and more than 200 different textures.
